It didn't seem to be from pain, no and it settles following the natural flow of the conversation.
"We heard a message. Something about going toward Nirvana." Probably where the group is heading. One couldn't help but notice the convoy had not just been an abandoned train of vehicles; some of those people present had been on the road for a while. The truck though...
"Hrmph. The vehicles are weird." Vincent doesn't say if he means their lack of familiar design, whether he's speaking of their overall appearance and composition or just... the way each of them seemed to have one.
Just for them. Expecting their arrival.
There's a flicker of something akin to realization. Naming the western continent, the younger features. Some things are clicking into place.
"Nothing I knew either. Wasn't a Portal. And... this isn't where I was."
For Vincent Valentine, many parts of the world had undergone drastic change. Not just places that were built up or left to ruin or wiped off the map or literally disappeared. Just stepping out into Nibelheim alone had been a little... off. Thirty years in the proximity of any mako reactor was bound to change the landscape itself. All just a little more dry. A little bit more barren.
Midgar's surrounding wasteland had honestly been shocking. All this goes to say that the former Turk knew there were many places he simply did not recognize any longer and that could have happened here.
But he knew where he had been and where he'd been going. Neither location were a strange diner and garage in the middle of nowhere, with a storm of avian monsters on the horizon.
"Some of those bird monsters I haven't seen before. And like you said, it's not mako."
...Causing the mutations. There's a short pause before Vincent offers another piece of information, delicately chosen.
"My friend also mentioned being somewhere else. But it was something I remembered happening a while ago." More or less in the same sequence as Tifa had hinted.
